I beheld satan falling from heaven. Re-script your thinking.

Hebrews 10.19 Therefor brethren having boldness to enter the Holy of Holy by the blood of Jesus by a new and living way which  He consecrated for us through the veil of His flesh”.  That  is the flesh of the Christ of the cross who grants us assess.

As we understand Gods word and it becomes us, it is His word and the Holy Spirit that takes us into the very place of God. Faith plus word plus the Holy Spirit in us lifts us up to his very presence.
 
But it is the un- regenerated mind, the disobedient and unlearned in the faith that cannot do this. Because one can see physically the work of satan in this world, they conclude that victory over satan, sin and death is at a second coming experience.
 
But it is the regenerated mind by the spirit in the region of faith that has gotten the victory. Others see satan and sin rampant in the world and think “Oh God come back and save us”. And yes it is tragic the things that take place, but it is those people who have been taken captive to do satans bidding, the spirit that now works in the sons of disobedience. Like it says in 1st Peter of the roaring lion seeking whom he may devour which is experienced by the brotherhood “in the world”. But we are “In Christ” and not the world. There are those who know Christ but glorify Him not fully. They glorify the god of this age through fear. But we fear One. We Glorify One. Satan is just a rod in the hand of God like the serpent was to Moses. He is really just a toothless road kill to the one in faith “In Christ”.
 
So here is the operative. Are you “In Christ” by the working of faith, the word and the holy Spirit? Or are you “in the world” subject to satan because of ignorance of the power of God and His word? This then is your decision and your confession of faith, or faithlessness.
 
It is not an event in time that we are waiting for to gain the victory. It is as we appropriate Gods word to our understanding that our mind is re-scripted to the mind of Christ. It is the renewed mind that occupies the heavens. Like the verse in 2 Peter; by these exceedingly precious promises we are partakers of the divine nature having escaped the corruption that is in the world. And 1st John 3.8 for this reason the son of God was manifest to destroy the works of the devil. This being a product of the Christ of the cross and not left for a second coming Jesus. And again Hebrews 2.14 e came in the flesh to destroy him who had power over death, that is the devil. Here again it is the Christ of the cross who gave us power and victory to the one who has faith.
 
It was when Jesus saw the disciples express this faith that he said to them “I beheld as satan fell from heaven”. But it is those who are held captive by the second coming savior message who cannot experience the victory Christ already delivered us to.
 
The concept of Dispensations which is the art of binding Gods word to time to be physically experienced by the flesh is the lie that keeps you out of the Kingdom of Heaven now. And there are many of the brotherhood in this day who know not this place of faith “In Christ”.
 
To see satan fall from heaven is not a physical event to happen in an end time scenario as they theorize, but like all revelation, it is experienced by the one who has faith. Each one in their own order. It is not of a place in time like taught in dispensationalism but actualized by faith. This is our transformation in the here and now. This is Jacobs ladder. 
 
I personally refuse to use the name of any other god on my lips to glorify another god as though power is relegated to greater and lesser gods and the true God has not the victory or full power till a second coming. Even as Jesus said in Mt 28.18 All power has been given to me in heaven and earth. For my relationship is with the Father through Jesus Christ, and there are no enemies where He is and we are “In Him” and this is true for one that has faith in the Christ of the cross, not of the second coming future victory. 
This is one of our rewards actualized  from faith to faith, not by days seasons months or years laid out on a calendar for dispensation.
 
It is the false prophets of our day that glorify that beast. And as long as you believe in a second coming Jesus to defeat satan and to deliver you from this world, you deny the work of the cross and have been taken captive by satan to do his bidding. (2 Tim 2.26) You are believing a lie and giving power to a beast. Give God the Glory!
 
2 Cor 4 even if our gospel is veiled it is veiled to those who are perishing whose minds the god of this age has blinded, who do not believe lest of the the gospel of the Glory of God seen in the face of Jesus Christ should shine upon them. These false prophets are presenting another Jesus of another day, But scripture says “Today is the day, I have heard and I have helped” says the Lord.
 
If you are getting this, and you are re-scripting your mind by this truth, then train your mind and your mouth to stop giving glory to the god of this age, then it can be said of you too; I beheld as satan fell from heaven”. Which is the stratus of your mind, for the kingdom of God is within you. This is the “Kingdom of God at hand”.
 
Or continue being duped by the God of this age and spreading lies about a second coming Jesus to defeat satan and save you in the future. That is the gospel of a beast of the false prophets of our day that deny the true Jesus of the cross. Cast their gospel into the sea of forgetfulness. It is the true God who is Glorified in the victory of the cross that we share in Him by faith, not a second Jesus to do that. Think about it.
Jesus was made a lowly man for the suffering of death then crowned with Glory and honor so that He by the grace of God would taste death for us. It was fitting for Him to bring many sons to Glory. Hebrews 2.9+10. I don’t see a second coming reference as having anything to do with this but the cross..
2 timothy 1.9+10 It is Him who has saved us with a holy calling which was given to us in Jesus Christ before time began, but has now been revealed to us by the (1st) appearing of our savior Jesus Christ who has abolished death and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel. (not a 2nd coming)
We can go on and on and we will do so in future posts as we have in past posts, but fortify your thinking with these things;  and the God of peace will crush satan under your feet immediately. Romans 16.20
Peace

Gods Glory seen in Christ

 The Glory of God is a collection of all His invisible attributes. In the time of Moses it wasn’t until the tabernacle with all its furniture and utensils were set up. Then the priests and the sacrifices were ready and the proper times came and all was collected and assembled, that the Glory of the Lord rested upon that image whose glory was passing. That image expired in the person of Jesus Christ whose Glory excels. If you take away one concept or characteristic or attribute that belong to God the Father, the image would not be complete then therefore could not reflect His Glory. God just is. And He is always un-changeable. Of whom there is no variation nor shadow of turning. (Jas 1.17).

 
This is why it says in Rom 3.23  that all have sinned and fallen short of the Glory of God. It is that none does what he is made to do. Adam and Eve acquiesced to Satan and lost their purity, became tainted and marred in their mind and understanding which then distorted all of creation. They believed in another and lost the glory given to them. Then being defeated they were under the power of another. They dis-believed and became disconnected to the Head. The lie that “they may become as gods” is a lie because they already were. And this is where we get duped and confused. We as believers forget that we too are given everything that is “In Christ”. We are partakers of Christ our risen and seated Lord. You see Adam and eve misunderstood what they already possessed and fell for the lie that they could become like God without God. They sought a manifestation of god-like-ness from another.

You see in the beginning man was made in Gods image. Man was made to reflect the glory of God to perfection. Even now scripture says that the body is not for adultery but for the Spirit of God. Man was suppose to display the assorted characteristics of the heavenly Father completely. But all have fallen short of that God given roll. Well, until Jesus. He is the express image, exact likeness, the Fathers fullness the one who said “He who has seen me has seen the Father”. Which is another reason why He is not a becoming one like at a second coming, but He who was from the beginning because He never changes. Jesus Christs words and behavior are exactly like the Father, even before the resurrection and ascension. God the Father would not have responded any differently in any situation. The son did a perfect job.
Christs enemies are put under His foot as displayed at the cross. This is why it is said of Jesus that He is far above all powers and principalities”. He is so much higher than any battle or skirmish of any sort. There is no Glory for a Jesus who must live to fight another day. The enemies are a product of the mind of man and manifest in this creation that tainted it and are responsible for the atrocities even up to our day. The principalities must be defeated by a man. That is why Deity said when looking upon the demise of man; whom shall I send and who shall go for us? And the Son said; here am I send me (Isaiah 6.8). And he came as a man to show us that the victory can be done in us by the renewal of the mind. This is called Galgatha. 
 
And Jesus said “Follow Me that where I am you may be also”. That is the whole objective of the gospel of Jesus Christ. It is of Him that we are instructed to “put Him on”. Become like that one. Some erroneously ascribe being like Christ as a one time physical event at a second coming but the invisible never becomes physical and it is His invisible attributes that we are to put on now. However it can manifest through the physical and this is our calling. If we do not see Him in true victory and glorified, by which glory are we being transformed into? (2 Cor 3.18) It is this carnal perception that needs a second coming as a visible display in order to believe, they believe in a new physicality. But God is spirit and He seeks such as are spirit, the time is now to worship Him in spirit and truth. (John 4.24) 
 
God in His creation of time and matter established contrasts first; let there be light! How can one understand light without dark? But God is light and in Him is no darkness. God is love for he who loves God, loves his brother also. It is as we understand Him as directed by the Holy Spirit of whom it is said by Jesus; when the helper comes who the Father sends in My name, this one will take what is mine and declare it to you. This is the role of the Holy Spirit in our lives of our pilgrimage. To break down the Invisible attributes of God into bite size pieces in order for us to understand Him in greater parts. And like Mary who remained at the feet of Jesus. She chose that part which is needful, which will not be taken away. You see she got to keep the attributes she understood.
Like Jesus said to the disciples; I have many things to say to you however you are not able to bear them. And we can’t understand it all at once, but we hear and we believe we keep. We retained greater and greater portions in our transformation of what we already are “In Christ”. And we may grow in understanding but do not confuse that as not having God-likeness gifted us yet like Satan convinced Adam and Eve. You see the gift
 
Have you too been duped by another gospel like Adam and Eve that godliness has been withheld? Like maybe for a Rapture or a second coming for our transformation? If so you error in not knowing the scriptures and the power of God. What He has given to us is “the exeeding greatness of His power to us who believe that He displayed in Christ Jesus when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him far above all powers and principalities in this age and the coming one and seated Him in heavenly places. (Eph 1.19-21)  It is right there in His word. Can you believe this? The gift relegated at the cross by faith and not a product of a second coming?  
 
Who is the real Jesus? You know cults use that spelling too? Jesus. There is no power in the spelling of that name. It must be connected to the Glory of God. It is the victorious glorified Jesus who is exalted, possessing the victory to not have to fight another day, who reigns in full power now, not the second coming Jesus. If your Jesus is connected to the Glory, then this saying may be fulfilled for you to “ask anything in my name and I will do it for you, that the Father may be Glorified”. And “The Father is Glorified in that you bear much fruit”.  That you grow and excel in things pertaining the Kingdom of God. It was said of the disciples throughout the new testament that they remembered these things after Jesus was glorified. The scriptures came alive for them after they received the Glory. And you?

Gods Glory written on our foreheads


Posted on October 25, 2014 by ADMIN

The Glory of God should be our focal point and our objective. Not of personal bragging rights by anything we have done or can do, or any accomplishments we have for there is no lasting glory except Gods Glory He displayed “In Jesus Christ”.

 
Jesus Christ did not come to earth as though He had to earn this glory, or to obtain the victory to be glorified because He said “
the god of this age comes and he has nothing in Me” In Christ”. Jesus Christ put on humanity to show to us that the Kingdom of God can reside in us who have a circumcised heart and a renewed mind in the spirit. For greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world”. 
 
Our objective is to obtain His glory.  It is to us who are to “by patient continuous seeking his glory honor and immortality” in the here and now. To partake of His glory and victory. Not having our own righteousness, not having our own glory but that which is by faith in Jesus Christ. These terms are part and parcel of the gift of God . Faith is the invisible work that we must do. We exersize our belief and trust in Him. We associate with Him in His death, resurrection and ascension being seated in victory. Not our own. For the one who is in us who is greater in us, is the one who is in complete in victory, glory and honor not having to return to the battle field to fight another day as though the cross was not sufficient.
The war becomes for us the battlefield of our mind. Our own Galgatha. The overcoming and conquering is as we grow in understanding Him as He truly is and believing His word and this becomes our reality. For nothing has overtaken us that is not common to man but with it God has given a way out. This way out is His glory. There is no battle between God and Satan for he was defeated as displayed at the cross for it is Jesus who said in Rev 1.18″I am He who lives and was dead, but I am alive eternally, and I have the keys to death and Hades”. And 1 John 3.8 “the Son of man was manifest to destroy the works of the devil” and Heb 2.14 He partook of humanity to destroy him who had power over death, the Devil. There is more but you get the point.
This is “the hidden mystery of God ordained for our glory. To freely know the things that have been given to us by the Christ of the cross, not of a second coming. For had the rulers of this world known they would not have slain the Lord of Glory”. To them the very act of crucifying Christ looked like their victory, but it was ours. It is because of the cross that He shares His victory with us. This is not relegated to a second coming  but now by faith. They saw death, we see life. They saw a pauper ride into Jerusalem on a donkey to later be crowned with a curse of thorns. We see a white horse whose rider wears garments dipped in His own blood for us. Who is crowned King of Kings and Lord of Lords. The name He had before His humanity. Lord and supreme over everything. He is not a coming one, or a becoming one. For the word was spoken at the begininng. In the beginning was the word and the word was with God and the word was God. It is as we recieve Christ as He truly is we too share in His Glory. We are victorious. The same victory the rulers of this age sought to steel remained on Christ for our glory. It is as we behold that glory we see Him as invincible but not because He gained it but because He never lost it. The eternal One cannot loose it or gain it or He is not eternal. He can only continuelly display who He already was and always will be.
This is the eternal Glory and the Father does not give this to the son at a second coming as some suppose. Nor does He give it to the Son at the cross as though He earned it. God the Father had already said “this is My only begotten Son in Whom I am well pleased” at the baptism of Jesus before His crucifixion. And the Father was well pleased because Jesus was already the express image of the Father.
 
Herein lies the mystery of the “Glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ”. The Glory was amplified and magnified at the cross because the victory and the glory failed not! This becomes for us our focal point and our entrance into the Kingdom. Not, I repeat not a second coming. That is the impostor with a different glory from a different battle of a different Jesus who must fight to win and prevail over a future event as though the cross failed in accomplishing reconciliation at-one-ment, justification, sanctification, redemption and access to the kingdom of God. Didn’t He say that He gave us the keys to the Kingdom?
 
Can you just take a moment here and Give God the Glory due His name. Can you hear this? Can you receive this? Can you see this? This is the voice of Him who calls us to heaven. To His eternal Glory through Jesus Christ whose signature is the cross. Whose insignia is written on your forehead?To whom do you belong?
 
The Kingdom of God is at hand!

The Champion in Glory


Posted on October 10, 2014 by ADMIN

Having bore the heat of the day I retire in peaceful repose in the garden anticipating the voice of the Lord like Adam had done before He was removed. Having been like Adam after his departure, stained by the sin of unbelief, for he disbelieved the Lord and followed another.

But it is through Christ that we have been redeemed and restored to what Adam lost. It is not the Adamic or natural man that has access to the tree of life because there is a flaming sword spinning every way to guard the tree of life to keep the natural man from eating it, that is those in the likeness of Adam and Eve. If they weren’t denied that tree, they could’ve eaten from it and lived dead to God forever. 

Having put off the Adamic nature and forfeited your association with the old nature that by faith being publicly displaying by baptism, we put on the new man who is created in true holiness and righteousness in the likeness of Jesus Christ. And it is this new nature that we are beyond sin and shame and have been restored to the Father. And it is the Christ of the cross who saved and redeemed for this purpose even as Paul pleaded for us to; be reconciled to the Father, for He made Him who knew no sin to become sin for us to be the righteousness of God in Him. And this was accomplished at the cross. And because of this you are no longer seen by God the Father (in the old) Adamic nature but (In Christ). If this is so for you, then you can eat of the tree of life. But not just any Jesus can do this for you.
 
2 Corinthians 3.18. For we have this treasure in earthen vessels. What treasure? The light of the Glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ, from verse 6. And it is only a glorified Christ that correctly portrays the Father. The future reign of a 2nd coming Jesus to wage war and save people from planet earth still has battles and enemies and cannot correctly portray the Father because He has yet to be victorious over His future enemies. But it is at the cross that He totally annihilates Satan sin and death. And He died once to put away sins. It further states the He defeated him who had power over death (Hebrews 2.14). Then He led free the captors and gave gifts to men (Eph 4.8) So you see He does not do this at a second coming as though He needs to do this again. That is blasphemous and spits in the face of the Christ of the cross who already did this.
Think of it like this. With any sport there is a champion. Through the various matches, games and playoffs they battle it out to see who gets the trophy or the title or the crown. It is after the last game has been played and the title is given that there is a victor, that there is a champion. They can now hoot and holler and pop the champagne and stand at the pinnacle and wave the trophy. This is their moment in glory.There is no victory or crown or glory as long as there is a game or a battle left to be won. 
This is what it means that Christ is glorified. That He is victorious. That “it is finished”. He said “I have overcome the world” This is “the image of the Glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ the victor that now transforms all who believe in the glory to the glory which is the place of our calling and our reward through the gospel of the cross not a 2nd coming that cannot transform you now but later after that battle. To not see the glory of God in the face of a victorious Christ is to see another Jesus. A weak one, who is maybe taking a break to fight another day? This jesus has no trophy and with that view of the cross is a shameful act that couldn’t seal the deal. The Father would hang His head but instead He said “This is My beloved Son in whom I am well pleased”.
 
It is the god of this age that eschews mars and mimics a heavenly Victor by portraying a different one one in the age of time and matter by presenting a gospel of a future Jesus to save through assorted raptures and resurrections with fightings and battles to be victorious. And this appeases the carnal thinking. These people are taken captive to these assorted theories being unaware and unlearned in the invisible heavenly realities accomplished “In Christ:.
 
2 Corinthians 4.3-4 But even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing, whose minds the god of this age has blinded, who do not believe (in the glory), lest the light of the gospel of the Glory of Jesus Christ (the victor) should shine upon them”. And they are perishing because they are idle waiting for another jesus to transform them at a 2nd coming and not now through the gospel “from glory to glory”. The are blinded from the truth of the cross by another Jesus. But scripture says;
 
Luke 24.26 “Ought not the Christ to have suffered these things to enter His Glory?” And He did.
 
John 5.43 And the Jesus of the cross said “I have come in My Fathers Name and you do not receive me. If another comes in His name you will receive him.” And it is this other coming one who comes in the name of the Father the 2nd coming seekers receive. This is the false jesus and the anti- christ if possible to deceive the elect.
The Fathers name in Hebrew is Yasha and means savior Strongs # 3467 is translated in the Greek/English Hossana. Hossana, save now, blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord. And He did. He came on the foal of a colt having salvation. The donkey is not coming back.
Now back to the tree of life. The scripture says Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree” And Christ did. He  becomes the fruit of the tree of life having bore our sin and death for us to have life the moment we believe. And we continue to eat this fruit not for man, but for the new that are in the likeness of Jesus Christ. This is your new sustenance and your transformation
The Kingdom of God is at hand!

Godliness means God-like-ness


Posted on October 8, 2014 by ADMIN

Godliness means god-like-ness. The scriptures instructs us for godliness. This is putting Christ on. It is by our relationship with Him now that as we see Him and learn from Him it is like Him we become. It is from the power and the work of the cross in our lives that changes us and we become more godlike. 

 
2 Timothy 3. says that “in the last days perilous times will come.” and that the people of the last times would “have a form of god-like-ness but deny the power of it. from such turn away”. These are those who suppose god-like-ness to be something they get when they see Jesus at a 2nd coming, but it is “He who is immortal, invisible, only wise God” who displays Himself to us now in His true nature, broken down in His various invisible attributes for our understanding and for our consumption. This is our bread of life that what we eat (spiritually) we become that comes down from heaven. We see him now by this and put Him on by faith and become more and more like Him. This is our transformation in the here and now. This is what the gospel is all about. This is the purpose of our sojourning here.
  
2 Peter says that “His divine nature has given us everything that pertains to life and god-like-ness through the knowledge of Him who has called us to glory and virtue” now. That “through these promises we are partakers of the divine glory having escaped the corruption that is in the world”. This he writes of our current reality for those “in Christ”.
 
But it is the predominant gospel of the 21st century that teaches of a new creation in the future at the return of Jesus Christ for a transformation for us to be god-like. That message denies true god-like-ness which is now a fruit of the finished product of the work of Christ and the cross now in or lives. They succumb to the senses of their humanity and think, surely this is not now but to be seen later, but even Paul says in 2 Corinthians 5 that “that if anyone is in Christ he is a new creation. Old things have passed away, all things become new”. This is the gospel. The truth. The good news.
 
The gospel of another day for god-like-ness denies the power of the Christ of the cross and supposes another day of a future resurrection as the power of God of a 2nd  coming. This is another gospel and another Jesus and unfortunately the popular Jesus of our day, having a form of -like-ness but denying the power thereof”. But “Today is the day”. 
 
This is where we are in our time spoken by Paul in 1 Timothy 3.13 “Evil men and impostors will grow worse and worse deceiving and being deceived”. And they have and they are. Godliness is a cliche, a pious act, a collection of religious duties. An exchange of truth for a lie. It is our carnal man that just loves the idea of a carnal Jesus to come to earth and save us then rule mankind as a man, and this will simply not do. You will have this man the son of  perdition sitting in a place called the temple of god proclaiming to be god. But you are the temple of God if His spirit dwells in you. Who is sitting on your throne? The Jesus of a second coming? Or the Christ of the cross?
 
Do you believe the Christ of the cross has the power to save you and transform you now? Or are you waiting for the Jesus of another day at a future coming has to come save you? Do we put on Christ now? Or at a 2nd coming? Is your Jesus now in His original state  being immortal and invisible? Or is your Jesus to be seen as a man to rule planet earth at some point in time?
 
Putting on Christ has never meant to be a physical thing. If it did then when Jesus said “He who has seen me has seen the Father” Then we would be able to fix our hair up like His and wear a robe and sandals, but it was Him who said “Tear this temple down and I will rebuild it in 3 days. They thought He meant the physical temple. Do you? He came in the flesh to reveal the invisible and will not become something of time and matter for He is the same yesterday, today and forever. The creator does not become the created. 
 
This is the condemnation of those Paul wrote of in Romans 1.23 That they traded the truth for a lie “and changed the Glory of the incorruptible God into the image of a corruptible man. That is the portrayal of the 2nd coming Jesus man to save you later denies Him who now saves, but; “Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord”. And He did, He came.  And He is still saving and transforming today.
 
It is now that we become more and more god-like. This is true godliness and the continual work of Christ in our lives. The second coming doctrines, and they are many, are just illusions and distortions to keep you distracted. So yes, as Christ first stated “the kingdom of God is at hand.” And it still is. Why wait for another?

1st or 2nd coming Jesus?


Posted on October 8, 2014 by ADMIN

Jesus Christ is no longer wrestling with sin or fighting against Satan. He is not strategizing or dispatching heavenly angels in a battle. He is seated waiting for His enemies to be made His footstool.

The cross was so absolutely crushing and defeating to all His enemies, foes and obstacles that He is now seated with the Father. It is He who blazed for us a path into the presence of the Father His enemies now are not Satan, sin or principalities for they were obliterated at the cross. (Hebrews 2.14) The only obstacle now is unbelief. People do not believe the gospel.

Christ said at the cross “it is finished” and it is. He saved, secured, and redeemed us. He delivered us from this wicked world and translated us into the Kingdom of His Son and has fully reconciled us to Himself through faith in Christ. And it is finished at the cross not left for a 2nd coming Jesus to do this. He is not coming back to wage a battle. He is already victorious or He could not be seated in all power and Glory.

There are 2 distinctly different Christ’s. The one who saves through the cross or the one who saves at a 2nd coming. One of these Christ’s is an impostor. If Jesus has yet an enemy to be defeated He is not victor and not glorified or seated.

The enemies of Christ now are doubts fears and unbelief of the carnal mind which is why the holy spirit was sent to; 
 
John 16.8-10 “convict those in the world of sin, righteousness and judgment. Of sin because they do not believe in Me. Of righteousness because I go to the Father and you see Me no more. Of judgment because the ruler of this world is (already) judged. 
 
You become transformed by the renewing of your mind by these truths in scripture, as you accept Gods word at face value and apply it by faith as being spiritual facts, that you believe these, that you receive the gospel, the good news that you receive your place “In Christ”  
 
The same one who spoke the creation we experience now into existence in 6 days said words in the gospel to bring us into His presence as soon as you believe and receive the invitation. He who said “let there be light” and immediately there was light, also said something else more permanent. And it just is, because He said it. Jesus Christ is the word of God and another creation other than the one you have been common with.
 
We all identify with the 1st physical creation by a physical birth. It is by rebirth in Christ that you experience the new creation. Which is not new for it always was it is only new to you but it never fades or gets old for it is eternal.  And we experience this because of Christs work here on earth from the cross. It is not a product of a 2nd coming. And you do this by faith. Having faith “In Christ” puts you “In Christ” by spiritual birth. Faith is the invisible action which gives you access into the invisible creation.
 
So at Christs final coming when the mystery is complete and this old creation has served it’s purpose in raising up offspring of God to the fullness and stature of Jesus Christ (Ephesians 4..) then time will cease (Rev 10.6), matter will be removed (Heb 12.28) elements of this age will dissolve (2 Peter 3..) So it can be said “He who is unjust let him be unjust still. He who is filthy let him be filthy still. He who is righteous, let him be righteous still. And he who is holy let him be holy still. (Rev 22.11)  What you have become here is what you always will be. What you have chosen and believed or disbelieved will be manifest. The gospel will expire, the invitation will be retracted and the age of transformation will be over. You are what you are and those who have not believed the gospel, those who have not judged themselves and passed from judgment to life through the gospel, those left who have not entered the “Kingdom at hand” by associating with Christs death and resurrection, will have to stand alone to be judged.
 
When what is now invisible is manifest, faith will be no more, for it will be undeniable. There will be no more reward for faith, because faith is not necessary, for all will see. And transformation will cease. The age for each to follow Christ and go through our own transfiguration will be over. For it is now in this age of faith and grace that “we all with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the Glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same full image from the glory to the glory, by the spirit of the Lord. (2 Corinthians 3.18)  This speaks not of a 2nd coming but in the here and now by the power that was displayed from the cross when Christ Jesus was elevated far above all powers and principalities, all enemies having been subjected to Him back then. Not a 2nd coming.
 
For to what you have attained in your sojourning here on earth, what you have received by faith will be your manifest reward. Like Daniel wrote 12.3 Those who are wise will shine like the brightness of the firmament, and those who turn many to righteousness like
the stars forever”. 
 
2 Peter 3.10-13 talks about this final day when the Lord that comes as a thief and wraps up this age, when this creation clashes with eternity “in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will burn with a fervent heat, both the earth and the works that are in it will be burned up”  And if the earth and the works are burned up it is for the eternal unchangeable to remain. You cannot change then. But here you can through the gospel message salvation from the Christ of the cross.
The 2nd or last coming Jesus doesn’t offer grace and transformation to get you there which is why 2 Peter also says 3.14 Therefor brethren looking forward to these things be diligent to be found by Him in peace without spot and blameless. Why? Because “all things will be manifest for the day will declare it”.
 
So now is your time of transfiguration/transformation by the message of the cross that produces faith “In Christ”. A 2nd coming as a physical event cannot bring spiritual transformation, faith does. When the end of time and matter come, it will be a fact and not faith, and it is only by faith that we please God and our faith is why He rewards us. (Heb 11.6)
 
If you understand this message then you can see the danger and the peril for trading in the Christ of the cross for a 2nd coming Jesus to save you. These two are contrary to one another. The concept of a 2nd coming Jesus becoming a physical fact for humanity to see to believe Him, that they will see Him and be transformed, are ignoring Him who does that now. That concept spits in the face of Jesus on the cross and disrespects those who have believed Him throughout the ages.  You will see and believe? It is those who believe without seeing that are blessed with this.
 
It is second coming seekers who need to repent and believe Him who is from the beginning. Trade in him who is coming later to save you for Him who stands at the door and knocks now (Rev 3.20)  For if it is (a wicked and adulterous generation seeks after a sign” then the second coming seeker message is the mother of all harlots. All the denominations that speak of another day for their Jesus to save them and transform them, deny the work of Christ at the cross who said “It is finished”. That is a message if possible to deceive the elect.
 
They know Him not by faith, but need facts. And with our transformation being a work of His spirit in this age by faith in the Christ of the cross, the enemy is anything that keeps us from our transformation now. Ephesians 4..to no longer be children tossed to and fro by every wind of doctrine by the trickery of men in cunning craftiness by which they lie in wait to deceive but speaking the truth in love, growing up in all things into Him who is the head. Till we all come to the unity of the faith, and the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure and stature of the fullness of Christ.” in the here and now. “Today if you hear His voice!” 
So where do you get from these verses that a 2nd coming has anything to do with Gods work in you now and your purpose for being here? Put on Christ now so you will not be found naked and ashamed. 
However fascinating end time speculations may be, when is the rapture? How many resurrections are there? Are they building the temple yet? When will they start the sacrifices? Are they ready to set the cornerstone? These are all blind denials of what Jesus already did. And if you the reject what he already did then you reject the gift and count yourself unworthy. You make yourself an enemy of Christ. Especially if you are spewing this nonsense. You are making your converts twice the sons of hell as yourself. You are anti-christ  
 
Jesus Christ is no longer wrestling with sin or fighting against Satan. He is not strategizing or dispatching heavenly angels in a battle. He is seated waiting for His enemies to be made His footstool. The cross was so absolutely crushing and defeating to all His enemies, foes and obstacles that He is now seated with the Father. It is He who blazed for us a path into the presence of the Father His enemies now are not Satan, sin or principalities for they were obliterated at the cross. (Hebrews 2.14) The only obstacle now is unbelief. People do not believe the gospel. Christ said at the cross “it is finished” and it is. He saved, secured, and redeemed us. He delivered us from this wicked world and translated us into the Kingdom of His Son and has fully reconciled us to Himself through Christ. And it is finished at the cross not left for a 2nd coming Jesus to do this. He is not coming back to wage a battle. He is already victorious or He could not be seated in all power and Glory. There are 2 distinctly different Christ’s. The one who saves through the cross or the one who saves at a 2nd coming. One of these Christ’s is an impostor. If Jesus has yet an enemy to be defeated He is not victor and not glorified or seated. But now He is.
